Description

The SG Faded brings legendary Gibson SG performance alive with a spirited, worn finish. Simple style comes from the faded gloss-nitro finish and classic dot inlays. A SlimTaper neck, mahogany body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and classic PAF humbucking pickups deliver the signature sound and feel of the great SG of the past six decades. Includes softshell case.

    This is about as plain an SG you can get, but.. it talks the talk and walks the walk! Its a hard rocking guitar! The 490s deliver pure metal; smooth fingerboard; low and fast action (maybe a bit low for some, but hey, thats why the action is adjustable). This model makes owning an "SG" (Gibson) affordable for most anyone. Comes cased with all the usual Gibson accessories... The Soft case is more than just the usual "Gig Bag" quality. I believe its the same case the 2019 Standard model comes with.
